First forum post, woo!
For my contributions, I believe Addy Natalee resembles a stylized/younger Jill Marie Jones (Girlfriends/Sleepy Hallow/Starz's Ash vs Evil Dead)
V3D Stella HD for Genesis 9 resembles Trish Stratus/Patricia Anne Stratigeas (WWE), though Dafne Keen is also pretty close.
V3D Olivia HD for Genesis 9 looks like Victoria/Tara/Lisa Marie Varon (WWE/Tara), though I can see some Amy Lee or Amy Dumas, too.

You're mistaken, it's not an outfit from the Victorian era, it's an outfit for a vampire who lives at the base of Mount Victoria in the Te Aro suburb of Wellington, New Zealand.

(I may be being facetious).

Considering what was shown in Wellington Paranormal many aliens, critters and whatnots are dressing stylish nowadays. I bet even there's even some octopode somewhere in space who wears those boots.

There are boat loads of natural bend morphs for previous generations. This is just a sample:

Hi Daz Dev Team,

thanks for your work and I'm really happy to see the announcement to support RTX 50 .

I installed and test the latest public build, but unfortunately, RTX 50 support is not working. I used the latest Nvidia Studio driver, and a default Victoria 9 model, but rendering is still CPU only during the rendering. I tried also dforce simulation with my RTX 5090, and this works well.

I just tried this with my 5090 and it was smooth going. I haven't played much yet though. Bad timing today, super busy with other stuff.

That's surprising since other reported it working properly. What does the log say?

Also, maybe you could try with an older driver as the latest one is not always the best... The person who posted in the benchmark thread used 576.02 apparently.

Welcome to yet another round of RRRR. This time we're having a theme, and the theme is Good Intentions / Mixed up Mythology. This time we have two parallell themes, I just like to change things and the Mixed up Mythology was something thrown out in a chat by a fellow PA and friend and stuck like glue.

RRRR stands for Random Runtime Roulette Renders, and it's a contest that has been running for over twelve years now, on and off. We invite anyone to enter, specially all those new users who have shown up the past years. This is not the usual make a very nice render contest but more like tell a really great story, often fun, with your render!

How does it work?
Make your pull of 4 items, and if your any Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item per LB.

Who can play?

Anyone can play!

How do you prepare yourself for play?

The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list and items that wil not work with the software you work with.
 For example if you have items for Poser, Bryce or Carrara, and want to use DAZ Studio, remove those other items from your list. If you have loads of older figures, M3, M4, a ton of non Iray stuff and you only want to use Studio with Iray, remove all the junk from you list. 

Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick items from your list (your Runtime/My Library) for your start pull . You can use items from any store. Now build a scene with those 4 items plus any other items you want to add to make a fun scene. For newcomers I heartly recommend looking at the previous contests below to get ideas how you can do this. 

Working randomizer:: https://www.random.org/integers

There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:


- You pulled something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc, or you forgot to remove that item from you list even though you knew it wont work, or figure that out later.
- You pulled a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You pulled only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You pulled an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!

Lucky Bastard Rule!
I say this again: If you have Lucky Bastards, you pull one extra item for each LB you have, simple as that. 
Explaination of Lucky Bastards. 
Lucky Bastards, or LBs, are a form of handicap system which makes the contest a little more difficult for those who have won.

Current Lucky Bastards Standings

How to play?
You pull, you compose and you Render. You post your images and pulls in this thread (Don't miss that, entries without pulls and posts in this thread will be disqualified!!).
Then the entry should also be posted in the Entries only thread

Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two or three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from Victoria 8 Pro Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.

Poses, Expressions and textures/colors
If you pull a pose pack, an expression pack or a texture/color pack, you only need to use one of them, not all. For example if you pull 500 expressions for Genesis 8 Female, use one, if you pull 128 colors for Frappe Hair, use one.
Accidenty breaking the TOS
If your entry is removed by the forum mods because it accidentally, not deliberate, broke the TOS, you do not have to redo that entry but can move on and make a new pull. 

The rules of madness! 
Now you have successfully and randomly picked your items, make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum. As we have a theme on the contest, the render should in some way touch that theme. 

The contest categories! 
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.

Contest duration!
It starts now at Monday April 21 - 2025, and will go on until Sunday June 22, 2025 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time. Yes, a long run, but I thought what is better to do in the holidays than render what you do not do in the holidays?

This months sponsors so far:
Totte (Code 66) is sponsoring with two items from his store
Elliandra is sponsoring with two items from her store
3Diva is sponsoring with two items from thier store
Luci45 is sponsoring with $25 in Daz GCs
Dartanbeck is sponsoring with items from his store
(Sponsored items does not include any Daz Originals, as it has never done)

We want more sponsors!
 

Do you want to sponsor the RRRR?
Please chip in a gift card sponsorship, sponsors can play, they should play, they are even extra encouraged to play, as sponsors always plays for keeps.

Maximum number of entries? 
For this round it will be a maximum of 12 entries per player.

So, good luck and start your render engines!

There are two non-functional category offers, and the 55% for two or more featured Artist items is also broken (or maybe shouldn't be there, given the extra oin up to five with a featued new) - all three issus have been reported.

Distortion comes from the Auto Follow full body morph and partial body morphs from the figure... it's a commonly-seen issue. You can zero out the Auto Follow morph properties on the accessory (Show Hidden Property... firstly in Parameters pane...)

 

 

Thanks for replying. @crosswind.

I clicked where the arrow is and 4 lines. Preferences > Show Hidden Properties. I could not find Auto Follow morph...?  See revs Equip 6 Param.

Select Currently Used, if the equipment is fitted on the figure - Jill, you should be able to see Auto Follow morphs.

 

Can you post an image of what that looks like. I'm trying the same thing and all I see is Fit To, and a bunch of unreadable dark-grey-on-black mess.

 

Okay.  Attached ss 1 is a typical case with G8F (Victoria 8.1),  Auto Follow morph with "FBM..." (full body morph) in the label of the hidden property on the wearable. 

Ss 2 is a typical case with G9 (Victoria 9),   Auto Follow morph with "...bs..." (blend shape) in the lable  ~~

Vedila come una sorta di add-on a Victoria 7

Se leggete la descrizione sotto dice cose come Character of a variety of types to fit the sexy & fantasy theme of any of your G3F.
These morphs are very realistic and provide a lot of flexibility for G3F.

Io sono confuso: devo avere Victoria 7 per usare questo personaggio o mi funziona anche su G3F?

Ti funziona anche con la sola G3F ma per avere la stessa figura devi avere anche Victoria 7.
Praticamente è un morph da applicare alla G3F con attivo il morph di Victoria 7 (si somma al morph di V7).
A volte questi prodotti potrebbero non includere alcuni elementi perchè li riusano (magri la Skin è la stessa di V7 e dunque se non hai V7 ti manca la texture della pelle e dunque non puoi usare i materiali).

Funziona con tutte e due. Victoria 7 è un morph di Genesis 3 female, a cui credo abbiano aggiunto alcuni miglioramenti sul rigging e una maggiore definizione dei dettagli. Se applichi quel character a V7 ottieni esattamente quello che vedi nella pagina del prodotto, dato che vengono usate le features (e i morph) di V7. Se lo applichi su G3 funziona lo stesso, nel senso che ottieni qualcosa di molto simile ma che non sfrutta le caratteristiche di V7. In genere la cosa è più evidente nelle caratteristiche facciali, dove il viso viene un po' diverso, anche se di poco.

Questa cosa la DAZ l'ha fatta con G3, G8 e mi pare lo stia facendo anche con G9, praticamente fanno uscire dei personaggi basati sui vari Genesis a cui apportano delle migliorie (facendosele pagare benino, oltretutto)

Ma quindi, per esempio, una Victoria 7 sta a Genesis 8 come ci starebbe una G3? Cioè qualcosa di antecedente ma comunque compatibile, oppure è proprio un personaggio a sé con outfit suoi, morph suoi, ecc.?

Di base dovresti tenere conto del numero SOLO se ha una rilevanza per i morph o i prodotti che ti interessano.

Ora provo a spiegarti meglio.

Praticamente hanno mantenuto una "numerazione" costante per quanto riguarda la "famiglia", tipo Victoria 1,2,3,4 e via dicendo. Tuttavia con l'arrivo delle figure Genesis questa numerazione si è un pò spezzata in quanto si trattava di un salto enorme rispetto alle figure precedenti in quanto in passato ogni figura era a sè e con Genesis venivano tutte assorbite da una sola base.

Quindi si hanno: Victoria pre-Genesis (e tutti gli altri annesi) che vanno da 1 a 4 singolarmente (ognuno è una figura a sè) poi si hanno Victoria ( e tutti gli altri ) che arrivano su Genesis1 e prendono il numero 5. Ma di base si tratta solo di un morph per mantenere viva la "linea famigliare" e per distinguerla dalla generazione 4.

Quando esce Genesis2 le figure vengono separate come generi (uomo e donna) e le figure "famigliari" prendono il numero 6 per mantenere la numerazione.

Arriva Genesis3 ancora separato per generi e tutti i personaggi classici prendono il numero 7.

Genesis8 si chiama così solo per "riallineare" il numero della "famiglia" con quello della base. E in Genesis9 si è mantenuto questo passo.

In pratica tu lavori su Genesis1, Genesis3 o Genesis9, il numero 5 sui personaggi per Genesis1 sono solo "decorativi" e servono sprattutto per distinguere i nuovi morph che necessitano, per dire, di Victoria5 per esser pienamente funzionali.

Alla fin fine, Victoria5 è solo "Victoria per Genesis1", Victoria6 è "Victoria per Genesis2Female" e via dicendo.

La generazione precedente andava da Victoria 1 a Victoria 4, poi con l'arrivo di Genesis c'è stata una doppia nomenclatura: Genesis e Victoria 5. Poi è arrivato Genesis2 e il nuovo sotto-nome Victoria 6.

Con la sventurata nascita di Genesis3 è poi giunto il nome Victoria 7... A quel punto, vista la confusione che due o tre utenti hanno percecipto, hanno deciso ti tagliare la testa al toro e chiamare la generazione successiva solo Genesis8 e poi Genesis9.

poi, se mi sbalio mi corigerete.

Un tempo (fino al 4) Victoria e Michael erano figure a parte (come anche i vari David, Star, Aiko, ecc..).
Poi la DAZ creò i Genesis 1. Siccome però la gente era ancora affezionata alle vecchie figure, la DAZ creò delle versioni nuove di quelle figure (Michael 5 e Victoria 5) che però erano morph e texture per Genesis 1 (in modo che così la gente passasse a Genesis 1 ma rimanesse familiare coi nomi Victoria e Michael).
Con l'uscita di Genesis 2 ripeterono la cosa (Michael 6 e Victoria 6) vendendo nuovamente i morph visto che ormai i nomi erano famosi.
La cosa è ormai una consuetudine e anche oggi coi Genesis 9 abbiamo Michael e Victoria 9 che sono dei morph con texture.
